Annually, the National Science Foundation (NSF) gathers
data from Federal agencies on their research and JeveloFeent
support. The reporting procedures of four agencies responsalble
for over 85% of the Federal research and development fuads
included in the Fuundation's reports sere reviewed for 1576 (the
completed year), 1977 (the current year), and 1978 (the kudget
year). The overall totals ve:e found to be reascnakly accurate
although there were scme uncertainties regarding classifications
vithin some of the categories. The four agencies demonstrated
that they used sound bases for deciding which funds should be
reported to NSF as research and develcpment. The uepartment of
Defense reported all of its research, development, test, and
evaluation appropriation plus costs of military personnel
engaged in research and develuent activities. The Naticnal
Institutes of Health decisions comcerning programs to be
included are reviewed annually by senior staff. Because by law
all National Aeronautics end Space Administratic frcgraas are
research and development, that agencyls entire program is
reported. The Department of Energy's budget consists of
subproqram categories which make it easy to determine which
proqrams are research and development. (DRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaxvt0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
